Text:

What is the NEED for two certification programs? Would three, four, or five
certification programs give more protection to the consumer?

In states there is ONE license for the barber, hairdresser, nurse, doctor,
lawyer, and in few states ONE license for the prosthetist and orthotist to
protect the public.

How many O&P certification programs are there in Canada, Germany, France,
Sweden, Ireland, Russia, England, Scotland, Iceland, Spain, Italy, and China?

The following is taken from the 2002 ABC Registry....

The public requires and deserves assurance that the practitioner is
qualified to provide the appropriate service. It was on this basis that the
American Board for Certification in Orthotics and Prosthetics, Inc. (ABC) was
established as a credentialing organization.

Dr. Fedder, Mr. Hoxie can you answer the question what is the NEED for two
certification programs? Do two certification programs give more protection
to the consumer then one?

Respectively asked,

Al Pike, CP
